PROFESSORS, WARDROBES, AND WITCHES
"And what's your name little girl?"
Professor Diggory Kirke asked me.
"I'm Raelyn Schulz. Fourteen years old... yes I'm German so please don't ask."
He looked at me with a sad smile.
"You know" he said, "I have German in me too." I gave him a fake smile,
not really sure where he was going with that.
"You must be very tired." He observed after I let out a yawn. "Why don't you go get some rest and I'll have dinner for you at half past six."
I nodded, and ran upstairs to the room his maids showed me. I asked his maid if they had already kept children in Professor Kirke's mansion. She said that four more children were coming tomorrow. I walked into my giant bedroom, and plopped onto the fluffy bed like a feather in the wind. I was staring at the ceiling, not sure of what else to do.
Then, some feeling inside of me said that I should go exploring. I ran down the hallways without a care in the world. I didn't even bother fixing my hair or putting on my shoes.
All the doors I had checked so far were locked, but I still had one hallway that I hadn't checked. First try! I walked inside, the cobwebs and dust bunnies clogging up my nose.
"Aaachooo!" I sneezed.
I looked around, there wasn't much here. Except for a big sheet covering something up. Maybe a cabinet? I took off the sheet, and more cobwebs appeared. Behind the sheet stood an old mahogany wardrobe. I couldn't contain my curiosity any longer!! I tried the door, and it slowly creeeaaaakkkeed open.
There were some beautiful old fur coats inside, and I wanted to look at all of them! I buried my face in the soft ones, imagining I'm the queen of a different world putting on her furs. What dreams I could come up with! My Father always said I had a pretty big imagination. I kept walking further and further into the wardrobe, it seemed like it couldn't end!
"How much further-"
I asked myself, and at the same time I stumbled out of it.
"What happened to the back of- oh my gosh!" I looked up and all I saw were evergreens covered in snow.
What the heck? Am I sick?
I walked deeper and deeper into the forest that now almost completely blocked my view of the wardrobe.
Don't get lost...
I came up to a lamppost and I heard bells coming towards me and hooves trotting muffled by the snow. I looked around, trying to see where the noise was coming from, but there was thick fog everywhere and I couldn't see anything.
The sound was getting louder and the horse's hooves were getting faster and faster by every second. I looked around frantically, but I couldn't see anything. All of a sudden a horse hit me from its side sending me flying into the snow banks alongside the road. I held my face where it hit me; it hurt a lot! I sat up and there was a dwarf running towards me!
Dwarfs? What in the world's going on? Am I dreaming all of this? Where am I?
The dwarf kept running towards me and I had a feeling that he was unfriendly, so I started running. Unfortunately, I'm what you would call a flat foot, so I tripped over my own feet! The dwarf pounced onto me and I tried pushing him off but he was holding a dagger at my neck! I felt the cold metal pressing harder and harder onto my skin. What? Whoever- whatever he is - uugghh this is crazy!!!!!!
"Don't move or I'll-" and then he was cut off.
"Let go of her Olathe!" Someone commanded. He let off the dagger and I rubbed my neck cuz it was kinda of sore.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Why, I am the Queen of Narnia! Keeper of these lands. Ruler over Charn. Who are you? And how did you get here? You don't look like any of my subjects."
This lady was a very tall woman with long blonde dreadlocks and a big furry dress sitting on a big furry carriage carried by tall white horses. Her entire appearance was just so enchanting, it kind of crept me out.
"Oh, I'm Raelyn Schulz, your majesty. I came in from my own world through a wardrobe from the spare room. I'm not from here, either."
She looked shocked, and somewhat frightened.
"Another world?" She muttered to herself. "Through a wardrobe from another world? Oh no. Aslan's Banneret! This is the prophecy! I can't believe it's happening now of all times! Olathe!"
She yelled.
"Bring Raelyn here."
I was a little uneasy about following these people, but if I resisted I knew that the dwarf might get more vicious with me. So I sat next to the Queen and we rode off..
AN HOUR LATER...
So we came up to this creepy looking castle where we stopped.
Is this where she lives? She's no Queen.. I've got to get out of here!
"Umm... I'm sorry for being rude, but I really should get back to my world. I'm probably scaring Professor Kirke to death! He's probably already looking all over for me so, bye!"
I started running away from her.
"Maugrim!" she yelled. I ignored her and kept running, but out of nowhere a wolf pounced on me and I fell to the ground with the wolf on my back.
"Get off of me!!!" I screamed.
"Be quiet girl" he growled as he put his paw on my arm.
Did he just talk???? I'm losing it....
"I'm serious, get off!!" I tried getting my arm out from under his paw, but he readjusted his paw and I noticed blood oozing from my arm! He clawed me, the brat!
"What have I done to you? Let me go, now!"
The wolf showed no sign of doing as I said. The Queen came over to where I was standing and she pulled me off of the ground, still keeping a painfully firm grip on me. Then, a Minotaur
this world is so weird and creepy!
came over and grabbed me by the arm and made me walk towards the castle. The sky high doors magically opened as we approached it, and the Minotaur lead me down long corridors of the castle. As we entered another chamber, I saw chains.. WHAT???? What did these people have against me? He made me get into this dark cell made of ice
I think the whole castle is made of ice
and he came in with me. He put iron shackles around my feet, tightened them really tight and tied up my arms with rope. Then he shut the cell door behind him. I was in such shock and fright that I pulled my legs up and rested my chin on them, starting to cry.
WHAT JUST HAPPENED?????
